Verified Reviews of Party Venues near Barbican
I had a very prompt response from Thomas and overall a great experience. The space is pretty decent and had good arrangements for the photoshoot as was needed in my case. Will definitely recommend.
Clean, tidy and big enough space for what we needed. Owner was contactable the whole time and waited for us to arrive. Friendly. Would use again
Everything was absolutely perfect! Great value for money, the size of the venue was perfect to celebrate my 30TH with my loved ones and the service was tres magnifique. We also had the option of hiring the space till 4am and had the whole venue to ourself which was also great. I will definitely hands down recommend The vestry. The icing on the cake (pun intended) was the boutique hotel above- The fox and anchor. I rented a room for the night and after my celebration we were able to spend the night recovering. Perfect!
Great venue, great a staff, easy to organise, food was delicious, would certainly recommend for others!
Excellent staff and food (both quality and volume), the atmosphere of the room was authentic and really great. Highly recommend!!!
The venue location was great and the hotel was lovely. During the event, they attended to us really well and even provided the venue for longer than initially requested which was convenient for some last minute changes. The room had more done just a dinner setting; we had a screen to connect the laptop to and the sound was fantastic! Bottomless drinks option for brunch was incredible and manager catered well for non-alcoholic drinkers. Food arrived on time and enabled us to go on with our event very smoothly! Overall, loved the venue and will recommend for private dining!
Nice hidden spot
